Tin: Express Robbery—Preliminary
Examination of Wm. C. Hargrove. —The
preliminary examination of Wm. C. Har
grove, charged with larceny of Treasury
notes and bank bills from the Southern
Express Company on the night of the 22d
of July, commenced yesterday morning.
The prosecution was conducted by Maj.
J. P. Carr, and the defense by Judge Hook
and H. Clay Foster, Esq.
Maj. J. P. Carr, on the organization of
the court, read the warrant charging the
commission of the robbery in Richmond
county, together with section 4340, upon
which the affidavit was based, and section
4327, authorizing indictment in any coun
ty in which the goods may lie carried.
At this point argument was had by the
opposing counsel as to the jurisdiction of
Tustlces' Courts in final trials, where on
conviction of crime the prisoner was
punishable with imprisonment in the peni
tentiary, the counsel for the defense, Judge
Hook, arguing, from acts of the Legislature
of 1868, tha t the court coujd proceed with
the Investigation, and if it was found the
allegations of the charge were not sus
tained, Ids client was entitled to a final
trial ou the merits of the case developed.
Justice Ells decided that his jurisdiction
did not extend to the final trial of cases
where felony was alleged in the affidavit,
and would only hear a preliminary er
■ animation.
Below we give the official testimony, as
elicited from the three witnesses examined,
one of whom, Mays, was on the stand for
three hours and a half during the morning
session of the court -.

Checked my Augusta fieight first, in Ju
*nsu car; then talked awhile; Hargrove went

whisky; Capt George drank first, Hargrove
second, and, 1 think. Bland drank; did not see
him, but bottle wus paused; I took n drink,
wud remarked that it lasted like kerosene oil ;
,ve talked aw bile, and bottle was passed around
again ; nil of us drank, I think ; l know f (jid ;
don’t, lemembcr drinking any more; we talked,
smoked and snag awhile ; when we got to No.
3, 1 iuquired it there were any water melous
about; some cue told me i could get them at a
store near the depot; one train band went with
me to the store; I ent the melon in the Au
gusta baggage car ; we finished the melon, and
Hargrove and 1 had a Missel, rubbing the rind
on each other’s face; when w finished, Har
grove said, “Come on, Mays, it you want to go
into your car, I‘n, going in there now.” Har
grove checked his baggage, aud I fixed my bed;
fixed my bed across the ear, about two feet
from the partition, in the Express side; I saw
that »iiy doors were fastened ; they were closed;
i don’t .recollect whether they were hooked
when I fir*/. went into the car ; know they were
hooked when / went to bed ; as Hargrove was
going out, I asfcdd him to iock the end door
nextto the AuguMa ear; being very warm, f 1
took off my pants, placed them on some
freight uot far from my safe j 1 went
to sleep, and did not wake uiirii J
■was waked up by the messenger at
Miilen ; he remarked that I was very hard:
to wake ; when I went into the Macon ear at :
Savannah, no one there; I found Hargrove
in Augusta baggage car; when i went hack into
the Macon cat, only Hargrove weut with me ;
Tom Johnson, messenger, waked me up ot
Milieu, waked] me by kuocking at. the side
door, aud also by calling at the Express cud ;
he was on the outside of the car; I gave him
what I had coming via Augusta—three pouches
and some freight; the pouches were in my sale;
I noticed uothiog wrong about the safe ; I re
fer to tbe inside of the safe; after lie had left,
and the messenger from Augusta arrived, who
brought mouey lor Eufanla, I missed the £u
fanla money previously in my safe ; the money J
which I had for Eufaula was packaged ; four
packages, with way bill wrapped around them ;
I knew nothing of the contents es the pack
ages; ihe four packages were way biiied for
Eufaula; when 1 discovered the loss, thought
it might hove been hung to one of the ponchos,
but did uot find it; tbeu thonght that by .mis
take it bad gone through to New York or Au
gusta ; l first mentioned the toss to Eugeldow,
manifest clerk, in Macon; the yafrbill was
missing also; could not find it.
Counsel submitted to deponent eopy of way
bill.
Counsel for defense objected to introduction
ot a copy of the way-bill, as witness’ testimony
was recorded.
Counsel lor prosecution only offered the copy
to make the matter clearer to the court.
The court allowed the witness to examine
the way-bill eopy as memoranda to refresh his
memory.
Witness prououneed it a true copy of lost
way-bill; I aru confident that l received those
packages at Savannah ; I know that J received
them there.
Cross-examined—l adhere that l received tbs
packages in Savannah ; don’t recollect that I
stated to any one that I did not know whether
I received them ; I telegraphed back to Savan
nah alter I reached Macon, inquiring if l bad
left the packages there ; I did not miss the
money until just as we were leaving Miilen;
I telegraphed from Macon, because I thought
I might have left them in Savannah ; my memo
ry was contused when I woke, up; the amount
oi liquor did not suggest eating of the water
melon; I was not under the influence ofliquor
at No 3; was sleepy; ana not in the habit of
going to bed early ; it is my duty to sleep uear
Express packages ; was sleeping near the safe
that uight; had the key of safe in tny pants’
pocket, which 1 bad Liken off' before 1 lay
down.
The following written question was read to
the witness;
Did you not say to Wm Phillips, Express
Messenger running in connection on that line
with yourself, on the morning ot July 24th, as
yon were, entering the National Bank in Savan
nah, that you thought you bad left tne packages
on the desk ol the money clerk and telegraphed
him to see if you had’ot ?
This quesliou was answered as follows:
I know Wm. Phillips, Express messeuger ;
I do not recollect telling him that my first im
pression was that I had left the packages on
the desk of Adams, money clerk in SavaDuab ;
i told him I telegraphed to see it I had done
so ; the impression was not on my mind that 1
did leave the money iu Savannah, nor did I so
express myself as to create that impression on
the mind of Phillips.
Tom Johnson was not aloug with me; he
was at Milieu that night; passed a few words
with him concerning my being so hard to
wake; did riot give him tlie key to my apart
ment, and tell him to unlock it and take out
Augusta packages ; I felt stupid, had headache,
&e , when I woke up at Millen. Have talked
most with Mr. Dempsey about this matter;
.have talked frequently with Mr. O’Brien; 1
was not certain whether there were three or
four packages at first; I learned the fact from
Mr. Dempsey ; don’t think he described entries
on the way-bill; I got the total amount from
the money clerk in Savannah on the 24th ; Mr.
Dempsey did not slate the exact amount.
When Johnson came to the car, he went to the
usual door; Johnson said lie. commenced
kuocking when we first arrived ; I heard him
knocking just as we moved otf, in drilling the
ears; my pants were hanging on a log, from
topi of cars, I think ; the door Johnson knocked
at was hooked, and the door opposite ; I secured
the side door betore I went to sleep ; no oue
could have got iu the car ; the side dpors could
not have heeu opened without violence; 1
-opened safe twice before I 1-ft Milieu; my
memory is positive that l did not give the key
to Jobueou to open the safe ; in conversation
with Dempsey and O’Brien refreshed my mem
ory in regard to particular facts in this case on
the 24th ; don’t recollect with which one ; they
were both in the room together, I think ; these
suggestions were made Iti Savannah, on the
24th; they called my attention to having
bought the watermelon; I don’t know how
they knew it; most of my testimony on direct
examination was made up from my own mem
ory ; I forgot the watermelon ; 1 remem
bered about the wbi3lcy ; -one of the train
hands (Moore) went with roe to buy the water
melon ; after snggestion abont the watermelou,
I remembered everything about It; I thought
at first that I laid my pants down, but think
I hung them up, on a log or something, in the
car, with the key in the pocket; Capt. George
was present when we eat the watermelon ; he
left the car a few minutes before 1 did ; I was
not intoxicated when George left;' nave been
“a little lively;” I commenced running on the
15th October; Hargrove-was running at that
time; 1 was never with him off the car; I
esteemed him an honorable man; Blind was
on the train that- night, In the Augusta baggage
ear; Augusta train leaves Millen about twenty
minutes before the Maeon train ; I never saw
Bland after 1 left the Augusta car: I think
Bland drank some of whisky; 1 did not
see him drink; I said that Bland drank
next to Hargrove ; 1 now say that I did not see
him drink ; 1 saw Bland in jail; he said that all
he confessed was so: Bland expressed a desire
to see me—to Mr, Dempsey, l think ; O’Brien
and myself went together; Dempsey and
O’Brien told me part ot the eoijfpgijjon which
Bland had made; i never saw Bland before that
evening; never heard of him before; have
heard him spoken of as a bad man since this
transaction; front wfiat I have board, if true,
I woulckpot. believe Biand op his oath in court;
l don’t know Wes Harter; don't know tj>u he
is a wituess in this case ; have never heard him
spoken of; I kuow that parties have been em
ployed to look ui' evidence for this trial; they
are O’Brien, Wray, detective of Savannah;
Christian and Johnson, of Augusta ; witness
described auotber, as tall, and with moustache;
I do not know anything about the compensa
tion to be paid these, parties; I remember Mr.
King as also connected wiiii it; I do not re
member to have bad a .conversation in court
room, on previous examination, njijj Rafter.
Tin: detensaclose.l, when the court expressed
a desire that witness would furnish diagram of
ear.
Counsel for prosecution furnished the dia
gram, which was objected to by the defense,
who expressed willingness that witness should
prepare the diagram. i
Counsel tor defense objected, unless the wit
ness was an expert.
Finally, the witness admiUeu '„i> qinpeteney
to draw the diagram, which be prepared and
presented, with explanat ion, to the court.

THOS. V. JOIINSON, sworn.
(Street Examination —l aiu «u Express mes
senger ; in July was an express messenger ;
run from Augusta to Milieu ; ou the evening of
the 22(1 of July I was at Miilen, at half-past 12
o'clock ; my borne is at Milieu ; 1 connected
with P. B. Mays that night; saw him in his car
at Miilen; his ear was closed; I knocked at
the door and woke him ; there was some delay
in its opening; 1 knocked at the door at the
platform ; I did not get him (Mays) up before
the trajn moved off; tbe train moved and went
up to the switch, when the switch was changed,
and his car was backed in on /he turn-out;
when it stopped, i knocked at the no or again,
Mr. Mays did not answer at the second knock ;
f called again, aud he arose; he unhooked the
door ; he gave me three pouches—one for Au
gusta, one tor New fork and one for Rich
mond, and freight bills; I then returned to my
car, for Augusta; I had no conversation with
Mays, only asking him for the pouches and bills ;
1 did not go into tbe car ; Mays teemed to be a
little diowsy.
Cross-examined —The car remained at point
where I first knocked not longer than two
minutes; i knocked once where it first stopped
and twice where it was off; mv
impression was that Mays had been asleep; I
thought he acted as if he was a little iutoxiea
ted ; Mays offered me nothing but the pouches;
aru certain he did not offer me the key of the
safe; have told Mr. Dempsey the way in which
I waked up Mays; I don’t rceolleet that I told
Cas/)e.hc>iy that Mays offered me the key of
the sate.
Question —Did you uqt elate to David Castle
berry that Mays came to the door intoxicated
—drunk as a fiddler’s bitch —and gavp y,q;i the
key to get out the packages, and that you
opened the safe aud got them out yoursell ?
Answer—l did not.; I ibiuk I told Castleber
iy thq.t the door ou the opposite side of the
ear iu which Msys was, was open ; I told him
in the same conversation f. first bad with him;
the last time, when I aroused Mays, be j£ime
diately opened the door at which I was knock
ing ; he was undressed; his pants were hung
np on a nail in the car, on the sirne side
which I was, about two feet from tbe door,
right over his bead ; I have not been employed
to assist in getting up evidence in the case.
No one told me what Bland confessed in this
ease; 1 heard lie had tamed State’s cvlde.i/ce
against Hargrove. The doors of the car are
fastened with hooks; f supposed that they were
securely fastened, and ibqt it would take a good
deal of time to get one of them open ; I have
been acquainted with Hargrove, next October,
two years; have heard him spoken of as a man
ot good character; have never heard anything
against Hargrove up to this transaction; have
known Bland since 1857; have uot beard any
thing of him since, uutil since this transaction ;
have heard, since that-, a good deal said against
him, f cannot say whether I would believe
biin on his QXiii Qf not; I have not expressed
anything, this morning, as to what I admitted
to Castleberry ; have not' said anything to any
one as to what J. would testify.
By the Court—l have had but one con versa
tion with Castleberry on this subject; when
tbe ear iu which Mr. Mays was first arrived 1
knocked once; when it was switched off i
knocked at tbe same door which I did at first;
coming this way the door w hich was opened
to me was the right band door.
Re-directs-f he door which I noticed open
was on the left; it was, I guess, opened wide
enough for a man to put himself through ; Mr.
4P»yg might have opened the door himself;
l'heard him scrambling before he opened to
ine.
Re-cross-examined—l did not state to Mr.
C3*tj6berry that that door was open, when the
car came up ; the door yrhich I knocked at was
the one at which I usually weat to get my
freight.
FKANCIS F. BLAND, SWOrn.
Direct examination —On the 22d July I left
Savannah on Central Railroad as a train hand ;
jt was not my regular occupation ; 1 was ruu
pjng ip Tbos. Lassiter’s place at that time ; I
was'in August* baggage car when I left
vannab ; Mays. Hargrove, George, and a young
man, I think, named Jas. Deuton, baggage mas.
ter were also there; l was in the Augusta baggage
car; I speak of Win. Hargrove, and see him sit
ting in court; I remained with the party until we
reached 3>£; soon after we left Savannah Har
grove produced a bottle of whisky, and. we all
took a drink, except Denton ; 1 am not posi
tive whether he drank or not; wo skylarked a
little, sung a song or two, and took another
drink ; I think that just before we got to No. 2
we took another drink, but won’t be positive
whether wp took the third drink or not; when
we got to No. 3 Mays g/}f out and got a water
melon, and came in Augusta baggage car yyith
it; leaving N°. 3, we eat the'watermelon;
when we got to 3% we stopped to take wood ;
leaving S}£> I went in the brake car with Tom
my Moore, tbe other train band ; this is tbe ?ar
uext to Macon passenger car, two cars iu rear of
Augusta baggage c:rr; wheu I went out of
Augusta baggage ear l left Mays, Hargrove
aud George in there ; Denton, I" think got off
at 3% ; I stayed in the brake-cur some time,
talking with Moore, until we got up some
where abont No. 4 ; tbeu weut back- into Au
gusta baggage ear; when I got there, 1 found
no oue in the car, except Harp ruse ; I found
him in a little closet in the baggage car ; a
small room nsed for wastw, oil and lamps ; he
was tearing open some tiivtlopes. 1 walked
up to the door, and he said, “ Dont come in
here now, I am attending to some business,”
I then sat down ; iu a short time, Hargrove
came out of the closet with envelopes in his
hand ; he took a cup out of one of the lamps,
and 6et them on tire; I said to him, “ what the
hell are yon doing ?” He says, •* lam altend
iug to business,” after they got to burning good,
he dropped them on the floor ; when they had
burned nearly up, he kicked them ont of the
car; I then said : “ Bill, what have you been
doing “He said. If you’ll promise me you’ll
never tell it, I’ll give you something ; it you
ever tell it, it will min me for lile ;” I said,
what the hell is it ?’> He said : “ 1 went
throngh the Express.” I said •• What did you
do with Mays ?” He said ; “ %’s iu his car,
drunk, and dead asleep, I took the keys out of
his pocket and went through the safe,” I said
” What did you get ?” He said, “I got three
or four packages.” I asked him how much
I m ® nc y fi* s got. He said he did not know ?
I vc got it here,” putting his hand on his
pocket at same time.” He said “ i was
scared so badly, I left the keys in the safe.”
1 said, "You’ve raised hell, to leave the
safe unlocked.” He said, " You remain here,
and 111 go back in the car, lock the safe,
dpd put the keys in Mays’ pocket.” He
then took his lamp and went back in Ex
press car ; I followed him as far as the eud
door of the Express ear; I looked in, and saw
Hargrove in stoopiug position in Express car
department, as if he was trying to lock or
unlock safe; as he rose up from ttm safe, 1
went back in baggage car; iu short time Har
giovel came back in baggage car, and said,
“By G—d, it’s all right now; I’ve locked the
safe and put tbe keys back in Mays’ pocket;
he’s dead asleep, and he won’t wake up be
tween here and Milieu, if he does there.” He
then took some money out ol his pocket,
handed it to me, and asked me to conut it; I
counted it, and lonnd $289: he then said, “ If
that’s all, 1 mnst have burned np some ot it.”
He then took the money, aud asked me what
he should do with it; I said, “If you’re smart
enough to go through a safe, you ought to be
smart enough to know what to do with the
money.” lie then look a piece of cloth, rolled
it up, aud stuck it in waste bug ; then took his
lamp aud went back in closet; when he came
back 1 asked him what he went back to the
closet for; he said he went back to see if he
dropped any pieces of paper where he tore
the envelopes opeu ; about then, Mr. George
came back iu the baggage ear, and no
thing more wa3 said about it anti! we
got here; after we got here to the depot,
and delivered all t(je baggage, and everybody
had left the baggage car except me and Mr.
Hargrove ; be got the money and we divided
it; I took $144, and he took tbe balance ; he
said : " It I was you, I would not drink auy to
day, if you do, this thing might get out on us ;
if it does get out, I’m mined for file;" he then
said: "Put out your lamp, and let’s go;” Hargrove
remained in the ciosct a short time, then came
ont, locked the car, and we went home ; on the
way home, Hargrove said : “ Frank, if yon are
ever arrested about this, dou’t bring ray name
into it; if you do, I’ll be ruined forever ;”
we tbeu weut qn as far as Dublin bridge,
and there separatedhe went towards his
boarding-house, and I went home: Mr. Las
siter was sick, and asked me to make a
* r 'P in his place that night; Lassiler told me
Hargrove said it was all rigbt; I lound Har
grove in closet between slatious3 and 4; don’t
kuow what county those stations are in ; 1
saw the envelopes while Hargrove was horning
them ( think they look like Express envelopes;
don’t know any peculiarities about Express
envelopes; they were longer than ordinary en
velopes. .
Cross-examined —l was running for Lassiter,
that night; Lassiter got me to run for him; I
got my authority through Lassiter; Lassiter
was under arrest in connection wjth this mat

charged on what I had said ; have made round
trip for Lassiter since that night; Lassiter was
Cn train on night of robbery ; I was under arrest
two or three days before I made confession ;
no inducements were held out to me ; I knew
-I conid turn State’s evidence, and thought it
would go a litrte lighter it I did so. Hargrove
■returned and locked sate; at this time train
was in motiouj be went out of end door of
baggage ear. j said I did not know what
county the conversation on tj>e poaff took place
between myself and Hargrove; suppose it was
between 9 and 10 o’clock ; after we leit 3% ;
can’t say bow long. Dempsey, and O’Brien
saw me in jail several times; neither told me
► that flat grove had made confessiou; no oue
else told me so; I told Hargrove O’Brien told
me he had made confession, but O’Brien did
not tell me so ; Hargrove toid me he heard I

Aldertpan Tutt thought not, and in
quired of the, Clerk, who stated that it was
iu the shapec of a resolution, which was
read. ,>)
Mr. Jacksou inquired if it was customary
to accept a bid, and then sell the lots at
public outcry.
This inquiry was answered in the affirma
tive, which was thought by Alderman
Jackson as the best plan.
Alderman Joues, pending discussion, ap
peared and took his seat.
Alderman Jones, thought it a very im
portant piece of . property; thought it
valuable from fine water power; had six
teen feet fall ; believed that, with notice,
SB,OOO could be obtained for it.
Alderman Tutt favored the sale; thought
it would be advantageous to let anyone
have it who would make improvements in
dicated, and set the ball in motion.
Alderman Jackson thought it would lie
satisfactory to all parlies to have it adver
tised for sale on first Tuesday in October.
Alderman Tutt was fearful that this
would result in the property falling into
the hands of speculators.
Alderman Clark thought that the adver
tisement for sale of property would be bet
ter to be made for September.
Alderman Tutt moved that Mr. Malone’s
bid be received.
Alderman Jones objected, having heard,
a gentleman offer $5,000 for the lot.
Alderman Tutt inquired if it was the
purpose of this party to improve it- If
not, he would prefer to give SI,OOO to any
one who proposed to erect a foundry, em
ploying thirty or forty hands.
A vote on Alderman Tutt’s motion re
sulted in the defeat of the proposition.
Aldermau Jackson moved that the lot
be advertised for sale on the first Tuesday
in October. Motion prevailed.
Alderman Jones, from the committee on
the establishment of an additional free
school, moved a reconsideration of former
resolution, and an allowance of s SSOO per
annum for its support.
Alderman Jones introduced a resolution
for allowance of SSOO annually to Augusta
Free School, to be paid quarterly,'fwfttil
otherwise ordered by Council. Adopted.
A bid of $l5O for city lot corner of Hale
and Twiggs streets, by 11. Craft, was read.
Referred to Committee on South Common*.
An ordinance to amend lOOth section,
regulating the election of registry clerk,
with the oath to be taken, and the duties
incident to the office, anci the oath to be
exacted of applicants for registry, was
read the first time, aud, no objection being
raised, it passed to its third reading, and,
on motion of Alderman Clark, was adopted.
Alderman Tutt stated that complaints
were made in regard to the variable sup
ply of water—some securing more tnan
they were entitled to, and others not enough.
Alderman Clark moved that Mr. Wil
liams be authorized to measure the water
in the canal above the Factory.
Alderman Jones stated that the Hospital
Committee had determined to build anew
old
building to reiaaiij.
On motion, Council. adjourned.

A WRONG IMPRESSION CORRECTED.
Many persons believe that there is no
value in anything that does not from “thw
North.” How humiliating! However, this
impression is being gradually corrected.—
It is now admitted that no remedial agent
has ever been discoverq/l, North op South/
that posesses, iu so eminent a degree, th*
power of eradicating from the system all
foul distemper, as DR. TUTT'S SARSA
PARILLA AND QUEEN’S DELIGHT—
The secret is, it assists nature to do this
through its own channels. It is composed of
vegetable substances alone,' every one of
which grow's on Southern soil. It is the
BLOOD PURIFIER OF THE AGE.

The Death of Marshal Neil, of
France. —A cable dispatch from Paris an
nounces the decease of Marshal Adolphe
£feil, of France, one of the most prominent
military men and statesmen of the Empire.
His name reveals his origin. Not an Irish
man himself, he is nevertheless an Irishman

oi the peculiar aptitude of the Irish for mil
itary affairs. Marshal Neil was born in
Muret, in 1802. He entered the Polytech
nic School of Paris iu 1821, and the Milita
ry Academy of Metz in 1823, and com
menced his military career in 1825 as a sec
ond lieutenant of engineers. In 1826-7 he
distinguished himself iu the expedition
against Constantine, in Algeria, and was
promoted October 25th, 1837, to command
tbe corps of engineers iu that province. On
hfs return to France he gained distinction
as a military engineer, and was appointed
cctunel in 1840. In 1849 he accompanied
G*ueral Valiant in an exiieditlon to Rome.

passed over the southern limits of the city.
Tbe bauds employed on the Savannah,
Skidaway and Seaboard Railroad, about
four miles from the city, were at dinner,
and five of the gang took shelter under a
pine to finish their meal. The pine was
struck by lightning, and one of the five
seriously hurt by the stroke, the others be
ing slightly stunned. The injured man
Was brought to the city and medical aid
promptly procured. The same cloud pass

venture road, near the cemetery, killed a
mule attached to a cart driven by two ne
gro boys, both of whom were thrown some
distance by the violence of the shock and
severely stunned, though, fortunately, not
seriously injured. The thunder gust was
quite severe at the Isle of Hope, although
at this point it was scarcely appreciable.
